Mr Martin advocates the elimination
of all supervising principals, replacing
them with teaching principals. Ho also
designates tho associate und district
.A.nn.iniAn,iniu ns wasteful and uunec-
esary. In their place ho would appoint
forty "particularly qualllled ngents of
tho superintendent." Thus reducing tho
supervisory forces from J15 to 41.
KXECUTIVKS AS TEACHHIIS
Tho new executive principals would
remain at their present schools, but
would devote their tlmo to teaching.
Thus 200 skilled teachers would bu
added to the system with no added cost.
All matters of discipline would be at
tended to by them after school hours.
Eyes though there wero no reduction In
the salaries of these principals, the
saving effected would amount to $240,
000 on this Hem. he estimates.
Each of the forty assistants to the
superintendent would receive 3500 a
vear nnd the RUJicrlntendent $10,000.
The cost of this supervision would be
$150,000, or $83,000 more than the pres
ent cost of the supcriniennenrs tieparv
ment. Deducting this from the $340,000
saved on the principals, a net saving
of $157,000 a year, or $1,5.0,01)0 In ten
vears. would result.
A closer sujiervlslon of the schools
would follow, he says. Tho tendency
nr to become nothing more than an nlllee
keij.er. Tills Is a tendency I'linimon to
all types of school systems. The redeem
ing feature) In education in till', ictpiut
lies in tho fact thnt presidents of gre.it
unlversltlei and deans of culleg. . Ilnd It
for tho Interest of their Institutions to
teach nt lea'-t a portion of their time. It
Ii tho only way In which a jirlncipal can
keep nllvo In sympathy for tho learner
and tho teacher.
HIIOL'M) HU WlU.b VAII
Tho executive prlnclpuls should be rea
sonably well jiald and teach well the
subjects assigned them. Then- Is no
occasion to take up matters of discipline
or executive control during tho school
sessions. Cases of discipline Involving
pupil and teacher and sometimes parent
are
Fe'.ss:
teaching jieilod would bo n loss to the
pupils of tho school.
Instead of having suiervlHlng prlncl
jials who spend part of their time In
siiiiervlslng and part In teaching or
supervising jirlnclpals who elo no teach
ing and who are responsible to a super
intendent through a ellstrict superintend
uit and through associate superintend
ents It Is j.nssibln to have 11 superin

sistants who are tlie direct ngents be

To mak.. the supervision of a large
city more effective tho superintendent
h.msolf shou'd spend one-half of his
time actually Inspecting tho schools. Ho

PHILADELPHIA "PRODIGAL"
With Philadelphia a tho example
chosen for "prodigal" Mr. Martin says:
"Prodigal represents a highly differen
tiated paper system of suiervlslon. It
employs a superintendent over all the
schools, six associate superintendents,
twelve district superintendents nnd two
hundred supervising principals who do
vote nil their time to suiiervlslon (are
expected to do so). None of tho school
units have more than fifty divisions nor
fewer than twelve divisions.
"Inspection of this sjstem of 4C00
teachers reveals rcmarkablo possibilities.
Teachers of one large unit Informed tho
writer that their work had not been In
spected by the superintendent, any asso
ciate sujicrlntendent or any district su
perintendent during the entire school
term. In fact, they Old not expect any
visits from these supervisors. It was
ascertained that the only sourco of pro
fesstonal Inspiration and direction was
the supervising principal, who usually
visited their schools for short periods of
tlmo once or twice a month."
True, the course of study came from
the department of superintendence, but
mere was no evidence mat Its operation
was checked up by any Individual except
tho supervising principal. The promotion
of teachers and the consequent Increase
of salaries Is supposed to have tor Its
basis the Independent Judgment of tia
district superintendent and that of tho
